We shared this request example with FAB participants: url_qparams = { "limit": count, "offset": offset, "has_group": "false", "order_by": "-activity", "forecast_type": "binary", "project": tournament_id, "status": "open", "type": "forecast", "include_description": "true", } url = f"{api_info.base_url}/questions/" response = requests.get( url, headers={"Authorization": f"Token {api_info.token}"}, params=url_qparams )
But we don't want to support all these parameters, and the ones relevant are: - order_by - status - project - forecast_type - we ignore this, but assume it's binary - FAB only supports binary for now.

here](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.03.521657v1.full.pdf)) \n\n>Although industrial fermentation of engineered microbes has proven impactful in that it can deliver high purity biomolecules in sustainable fashion at stable cost, the R&D process of bringing a single biomolecule from idea to small scale production (milligrams) to applications testing (kilograms) to market (tons) is lengthy (years to a decade or more) and expensive (**$100-$200M**), a barrier that prevents many new biomolecules from going to market.\n\nThese costs have come down over the decades [due to](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9559305/) such factors as the technological cost curves in DNA Synthesis and Sequencing, improved machine learning, new genome engineering tools such as CRISPR-Cas9, and rapid tool advances. \n\nOn June 3-4, 2024, Metaculus and the [Astera Institute](https://astera.org/) held a *Scale Is All You Need* workshop in Berkeley, California, to identify a set of technical innovations or scientific insights that, if developed, could help resolve the bottlenecks that currently make it difficult for synthetic biology companies to innovate. Operating under the [Chatham House Rule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatham_House_Rule), subject matter experts identified the continued high costs of engineering, prototyping, and deployment of engineered organisms as an enormous bottleneck in the synthetic biology industry. \n\nThe scientists identified the following potential interventions, if they happened before 2035, as having potential to unlock this bottleneck: \n\n- Greatly-reduced costs of fermentation tests are available before 2035, assuming a sufficiently high Positive Predictive Value is maintained.\n\n- Universal molecular biology tools for use across organisms are available before 2040. \n\n- A model is developed that can predict protein function (catalytic activity, binding affinity, etc.) from any genotype with 90% accuracy before 2035.\n\n- In general, overcoming the significant long-term challenge in synthetic biology of being able to accurately predict phenotype from genotype would be enormous, especially if it could be done with a high degree of accuracy. While the group did not find this to be very feasible, as one participant put it, \"Solving genotype<>phenotype would guarantee the 100x drop.\"\n\n- Before January 1, 2035, at least 10 scalable non-model organisms that grow on waste are developed and available.\n\n- Greatly-increased amounts of publicly-available resources and datasets. One example would be the creation of gene modules, organisms, assay and molecular biology technologies -- and other physical materials -- that are open-source, free to use and commercialize, and easy to access.\t\n\nSee Also\n\nGenetic Engineering & Biotechnology News: [Fermentation Margins and Cost of Goods](https://www.genengnews.com/topics/bioprocessing/fermentation-margins-and-cost-of-goods/)\n\nAlChE: [SBE Supplement: Commercializing Industrial Biotechnology - Use Cost Models to Guide R&D](https://www.aiche.org/resources/publications/cep/2016/june/sbe-supplement-commercializing-industrial-biotechnology-use-cost-models-guide-rd)\n\nNielsen J, Keasling JD.

Operating under the [Chatham House Rule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatham_House_Rule), subject matter experts identified the continued high costs of engineering, prototyping, and deployment of engineered organisms as an enormous bottleneck in the synthetic biology industry. \n\nThe scientists identified the following potential interventions, if they happened before 2035, as having potential to unlock this bottleneck: \n\n- Greatly-reduced costs of fermentation tests are available before 2035, assuming a sufficiently high Positive Predictive Value is maintained.\n\n- Universal molecular biology tools for use across organisms are available before 2040. \n\n- A model is developed that can predict protein function (catalytic activity, binding affinity, etc.) from any genotype with 90% accuracy before 2035.\n\n- In general, overcoming the significant long-term challenge in synthetic biology of being able to accurately predict phenotype from genotype would be enormous, especially if it could be done with a high degree of accuracy. While the group did not find this to be very feasible, as one participant put it, \"Solving genotype<>phenotype would guarantee the 100x drop.\"\n\n- Before January 1, 2035, at least 10 scalable non-model organisms that grow on waste are developed and available.\n\n- Greatly-increased amounts of publicly-available resources and datasets. One example would be the creation of gene modules, organisms, assay and molecular biology technologies -- and other physical materials -- that are open-source, free to use and commercialize, and easy to access.\t\n\nSee Also\n\nGenetic Engineering & Biotechnology News: [Fermentation Margins and Cost of Goods](https://www.genengnews.com/topics/bioprocessing/fermentation-margins-and-cost-of-goods/)\n\nAlChE: [SBE Supplement: Commercializing Industrial Biotechnology - Use Cost Models to Guide R&D](https://www.aiche.org/resources/publications/cep/2016/june/sbe-supplement-commercializing-industrial-biotechnology-use-cost-models-guide-rd)\n\nNielsen J, Keasling JD.

Several academic studies have tried to explain the declining value of SEK using established theories, but come to the conclusion that the SEK is increasingly undervalued during the last 10 years.\n\nIn 2021 the currency experts Philippe Bacchetta and Pauline Chikhani published [On the weakness of the Swedish krona](https://www.riksbank.se/globalassets/media/rapporter/pov/artiklar/engelska/2021/210319/2021_1-on-the-weakness-of-the-swedish-krona_er.pdf) (Comissioned by The Swedish Riksbank)\n\nBacchetta is Swiss Finance Institute Professor of Macroeconomics at the University of Lausanne, and Program Director of the International Macroeconomics and Finance program of the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR, London). Chikhani is a doctoral student at the University of Lausanne.\n\nIn 2019 Christos Papahristodoulou published Is There Any Theory that Explains the Swedish Krona (SEK)?
